Story

Our story begins with Mario, Luigi, and Peach at a party in the castle. All of a sudden, something strikes the castle and the castle shakes. Then, the Toads (Blue and Yellow) tell them to come outside quickly. They all run outside and see Bowser ordering Kamek. "Keep attacking," he says "I want Princess Peach and I'm taking her! I'd like to see that Mario stop me...". He then looks down and sees them. "Well look who it is," Bowser shouts "I was just talking about you! Kamek! Attack them!". He then charges a beam of energy from his wand and fires it at them. It blows everybody away. Kamek kidnaps Peach, and he and Bowser fly away. Just as they fly away, The Toads jump on to her and try to get her away from them. They fail and are captured too. Mario and Luigi pick themselves up and watch as Peach flies away. Then, they hear a rustling in the bushes and out pops Bowser Jr. He says,"Dang! They got away!". As the bros. looks at him for a fight, he says "What guys! I'm not in on this! I swear!". Mario and Luigi then get a surprised and confused look on their face. "Well, you see, King Boo has possessed my dad and is planning on ruling the Mushroom Kingdom. He's kidnapped Princess Peach so he can achieve this. It's all apart of his plan to get revenge on something.... Anyhow, you gotta believe me! Please don't hurt me! Look, I'll help you on your adventure. What do ya' say?". They agree and he thanks them, telling them they won't be disappointed. All of a sudden, Waluigi comes running across to them. He looks up to the sky and shouts "Hey! Get back here!". He then sees them and tells them what is going on. He says Bowser took Wario and his 'prized' Tennis racket. He decides to join them, and they all take off after Bowser (er....King Boo...).

Mario and co. arrive at their first fortress. They go in, and eventually make it to their first boss......YELLOW TOAD?! Though, he does not seem normal. It turns out he is possessed by a Boo. He fights them and they win, hands-down. The Boo escapes and Yellow Toad is back to normal. "Uhhhh....Man do I have a headache!" he exclaims, "Those darn Boos! One of them controlled me and, apparently, made me fight you! I don't seem to remember a thing either. All I remember is that King Boo popped out of Bowser, and commanded a Boo to take me. Now I know what he meant by 'take'! Say, do you know what that's all about anyways?". Bowser Jr. tells him what's happened. He says, "What?! Well that makes perfect sense! Anyhow, sorry I fought you guys. I couldn't help it! Hey, can I join you guys on your adventure?". They gladly agree, and set off to the next castle.

Later, the group arrive at their first castle. They enter, and face their next boss.....Blue Toad? Obviously, he too is possessed. Before they fight, Kamek uses his magic to create two big mushrooms that pop up through the ground. These mushrooms also move up and down. Mario and co. win the fight, and Blue Toad becomes unpossessed. He says he's sorry and joins them. They then run off to the next world.

Options Mode:

There is a secret mode you get when you beat Giant Galleria with all the Star Coins. It's called first-person mode. It allows you to play through any level with a first person view. So, basically, you get to play through the level through Mario's (or any other characters') eyes. If you get confused or need the help, there will be a small side-scrolling map to show you what might be above, below, etc. Here's a video to show you what it kinda looks like:01:28

First Person Mario

An example of what first person mode would look like on the 3DS (3D video can only be viewed on YouTube).

Trivia

For the second time in an NSMB game the lava world is not the final world, and it does not have three bosses.

NSMB3DS is the first in the series to not only be in 3D, but to also use WFC connections.

It is also the first to have 10 playable characters all together, and have a first-person mode.

This is Waluigi's first real adventure game.

Every world's first letters (i.e. Brisky Beach) are the same, except for the first, middle, and last world.

There may be a Paper Mario reference in this game. In World 2, the boss is a Chomp. This could be a reference to the Dry Dry Ruins, and how Chomps were apart of the boss fight (in a way, making them a boss). This, however, seems unlikely.

There is a possible Luigi's Castle reference, being the final boss is in a castle. This could also explain were the castle disappeared to at the end of the game (see Luigi's Castle for more).
